Lesaka Technologies Shares Flat as Firm Eyes Profit Amid Merchant Focus
Lesaka Technologies shares in Johannesburg traded flat on Tuesday with low activity, as only one deal had gone through by 12:17 p.m. local time. The stock was at 8,101 cents on the JSE, just 255 shares traded and turnover of 20,657.55 rand. Lesaka’s Nasdaq shares, last at $4.94, were waiting for normal U.S. trading to resume after Memorial Day. Timing made a difference. U.S. markets were closed Monday for Memorial Day, and Nasdaq’s regular hours go from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern. That left Lesaka’s U.S. shares without an updated regular-session price during the Johannesburg day.
